My mom never taught me how to buy makeup or stuff like that. My best friend and her mom helped me buy some for prom. I still have the bright red lipstick and I never use it. I've also never had an updo or had my hair professionally styled, even though I've wanted it (it's always been too short). Maybe next semester we should ask some people to Preference so we can live out our high school dreams ;)

Yeah. That's a good point. At the risk of constantly being the naggy, pro-active one (usually this role is filled by my sister) why /don't/ you just ask someone to preference and do the whole princess thing?

One of the coolest ward activities I've ever gone on was "Ward Prom." We had a DJ and (digital) pictures and everyone wore the most formal dresses they had. I have a blue, sleeveless, princess-seam dress from when my best friend, MEP, asked me to prom. That was one of the nicest things anyone's done for me. I spent forever trying to figure out how to put sleeves on it. Even my grandma said I should just go sleeveless. But MEP doesn't roll that way. Niether do I. I'd have to be stunningly attractive before I could dress immodestly. I still love that dress. I can just wear a jacket over the top.
